See now, some people think it is important to be a talmid chochom. Some people think it isn’t. That is a normal debate.

But, I get annoyed when people present arguments as if they are satisfying both sides, when really they are making a compromise, which satisfies neither.

Going to college and learning in the morning, does not accomplish the same objective as learning all day. If you think that half a day is the right amount, you should say so. Don’t pretend it is the same.

cshapiro;

I actually don’t know, but it is my theory that I am generally correct. Am I? Would you fly to chicago or miami? And pay?

Give the name. It is fine.

Men are supposed to be the hunters.

Women have been emasculating men since we let them vote. They shouldn’t complain now. You wanted to work, you got it.

Yes, it is. They should switch off who picks up and drives and pays.

This better?

whats up with the negative attitude popa??

I get into these cynical moods sometimes. You don’t want to post anything stupid during them. (see also Machoah for Kovod HaTorah, popa calls someone homophobic and suggests he has homosexual tendencies.)

u seem very cynical, what does ur shrink say about that??

If you will pay for it, I will do it. I’m not scared of anybody’s opinion.

That wasn’t such a bad comment. Was it?

Why not, I’ll go through them.

First and foremost, why didn’t Heidi (heidihud123) use this version on her attempt to defend herself on YouTube?

I haven’t seen her defense.

Why didn’t the couple say this story when the judge demanded an explanation as well as the reporter in the hallway, as many others do?

It didn’t seem like they were given a chance to respond, but they should have been indignant in the courtroom and in the hall.

Why would they use she is in France if they have a better defense?

Well, in france is good defense, but should have been indignant.

And to those claiming that you’re not allowed to question the judge on the program: Accusing the judge for being a liar, is permitted?

Why, when asked, didn’t Heidi say that the wig she was wearing was a replacement (as every innocent, Masiach Lefi Tumo, would say)?

Was she asked afterward if the wig she was wearing was the bought one from the receipt?

If the judge used the receipt to call the company, why and how did she call the other company? And what company has no one in the office (with a computer and data) during business hours? Forwarded to a cellphone? Stinks!

You tell me about the shaitel business. I don’t know.

If she did indeed have all information (presumably in her cellphone) why didn’t she have info on the other wig while having info on a prior purchase of $3,000 (and details such as the wig length)?

Makes you wonder.

Why did they claim that the girl only spoke Spanish (why should a cleaners be hysterical when calling a customer)?

That is not the part of the story in question. You make it sound as if the entire thing was an elaborate hoax, from the beginning. As if they were going to trap the cleaners into paying them money and therefore sent in the wig. I find that absurd.

Also, I thought her English was bad enough.

Why did their story about running down to the store contradict (and who doesn’t run down instantly when 3K is at stake)?

You only run down if you think they have it. And they thought they told them not to wash it- if they have it.

Why did Heidi try to indicate that the wig on her head (long one) is 5K while the damaged one was three?

You mean if she bought this one for 1500. Maybe that is the real value.

Why didn’t they provide a second receipt that proves a purchase of a replacement wig (because that’s what you do at a lawsuit)?

You don’t need to show the replacement. They were suing for the old one, not the new one.

Sent all her wigs to Israel, yeah right. Where’s her ‘special occasion’ wig?

Give me a break.

Last but not least, if their loss was only $1,500, why were they suing for 3K?

You are entitled to the amount the first one was worth, not the amount you replaced it for. If you break my car, and I get a new one for free, the benefit accrues to me, not to you.

I concur with several of dave’s points.

Homeowner? Talk to the laundry people about what? About whether it was bought from georgi?

About whether it came in long? Just pull the hair straight and look at it.

thanks

I bet you have not spoken to him about this.

Sam I am, alias, etc.

One day you will talk about this to someone you respect and discover a whole new world.

Until then,

Popa

Anyone who marries someone for the benefit of the klal is an idiot.

Oh yes. Just for the record, I support “don’t ask, don’t tell”, but for practical reasons, not homophobic ones.

Maybe he was really a tzaddik, and we don’t really understand the challenges he faced. He fell out of the airplane to be mekaper for his few aveiros so he could go straight to gan eden.

Excellent. Can you shut down all of this guys names.

Ok fine. Be inspired.

But aren’t we silly?

No, I am the one who dropped it.

What would I do with it? Save it for three weeks until my next cash purchase, only to find that I end up with even more pennies?

But I’m glad someone picks it up. I don’t want to just be a litterbug.

Where does it say that if you have an employee who is gay you need to fire him?

Where does it say you need to kick him out of the army?

Where does it say you need to hate him? Chataim v’lo chot’im- Buddy.

All you have shown is that it is an aveira to engage in the act, even a serious one.

Do you fire your Jewish employees if they don’t keep shabbos? Do you hate them?

Would you fire someone and kick them out of the army if they were married to their mother-in-law’s mother? (Also one of the arayos- eim chamoso)

Sister:

My principal point is that it is silly to only look for Hashem in the good miracles. Telling only those stories as “proof” of Hashem’s hashgacha really makes fools out of us.

Support for toeiva? Allowing people to serve in the army is hardly the same as supporting their behavior.

We don’t support people living with a woman who they are not married to either, but we don’t kick them out of the army.

Rak od pam:

Perhaps that is also beis din enforcing your obligation to Hashem.

if the shmuz was any good why would they have to advertise so heavily ? its litteraly being shoved down our throats,and eyes and ears…

A. Because they are not selling a product, they are providing a free service.

B. Successful companies are the one’s who advertise heavily.

C. Most of the advertisement is consumer’s advertising for them. Like the bumper magnets. (I have one!)

I always said that principals and roshei yeshiva should get together and try to make shidduchim.

I think the Roman noblewoman should just make the shidduchim. Match them all up in one night.
